Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrode comprising a sulfur-based active material, a lithium-ion secondary battery having the electrode and manufacturing methods thereof.
  • a lithium-ion secondary battery which is a kind of a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is a battery having a large charge and discharge capacity, and is used predominantly as batteries for electronic mobile devices. Further the number of lithium-ion secondary batteries used as a battery for electric vehicles is increasing, and improvement of performance is expected.
  • an active material for a positive electrode of a lithium-ion secondary battery are those comprising a rare metal such as cobalt or nickel.
  • a rare metal such as cobalt or nickel.
  • an amount of rare metals available on the market is small, and rare metals are not always easy to obtain and in addition, are expensive. Therefore, active materials for a positive electrode using a material in place of rare metals are demanded.
  • oxide compound-based active materials for a positive electrode oxygen in an active material for a positive electrode is released due to overcharging, and as a result, an organic electrolytic solution and a current collector are oxidized and burnt, thereby resulting in possible firing or explosion.
  • sulfur is not only easily available and is inexpensive as compared with rare metals but also can increase a charge and discharge capacity of a lithium-ion secondary battery.
  • sulfur is not only easily available and is inexpensive as compared with rare metals but also can increase a charge and discharge capacity of a lithium-ion secondary battery.
  • a charge and discharge capacity which is as large as about six times that of a lithium-ion secondary battery using lithium cobalt oxide which is a material generally used for a positive electrode can be achieved.
  • sulfur has an advantage such that a reactivity is lower as compared with oxygen and a risk of causing firing or explosion is low.
  • JP 2002-154815 A and JP 2015-092449 A disclose composite active materials comprising sulfur, carbon material and the like. By using such a carbon-sulfur composite active material, elution of sulfur into an electrolytic solution can be inhibited and cycle characteristic of a lithium-ion secondary battery can be improved.
  • An aluminum current collector using an aluminum (Al) foil or the like is very useful since it is inexpensive, its weight is light and an energy density of a battery can be improved as compared with other current collectors.
  • an aluminum foil is used as a current collector of an electrode and an aqueous electrode slurry comprising a sulfur-based active material is applied thereto, there is a problem such that the aluminum foil is oxidized and an insulating film is formed, thereby significantly decreasing a charge and discharge capacity of a secondary battery.
  • the above-mentioned problem can be solved, but in the case of many of sulfur-based active materials, if these materials are exposed to an organic solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), sulfur elutes into the solvent, thereby decreasing an electrode capacity and a bonding strength of a binder. Therefore, the present situation is such that in the case where an electrode slurry comprising a sulfur-based active material and an aqueous binder, it is difficult to use an aluminum foil being poor in acid resistance.
  • NMP N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a lithium-ion secondary battery having a large charge and discharge capacity and an excellent cycle characteristic irrespective of kind and shape of a current collector.
  • the present inventors have made intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problem and as a result, have found that a lithium-ion secondary battery having a large charge and discharge capacity and an excellent cycle characteristic can be produced irrespective of kind and shape of a current collector by providing a primer layer for protecting a current collector and a crosslinking agent layer comprising a compound being capable of crosslinking an aqueous binder contained in the primer layer, between a current collector and an active material layer comprising a sulfur-based active material, and have completed the present invention.
  • the present invention relates to:
  • step of forming a crosslinking agent layer comprises a step of applying a crosslinking agent to a surface of the primer layer and a step of thermal decomposition of the crosslinking agent, and [11] an electrical apparatus using the lithium-ion secondary battery of the above [8].
  • the binder contained in the primer layer is an aqueous binder is that in the case of a non-aqueous binder, if a battery is exposed to a high temperature environment of 50°C or higher, the primer layer absorbs an electrolytic solution and swells, thereby increasing a resistance of the battery. Further, since a solvent to be used for the primer layer is water, an influence on a human body and an environment can be made as small as possible.
  • the slurry can be applied uniformly to the current collector.
  • a hydrophilic primer layer is apt to repel a hydrophobic active material slurry and therefore, a uniform electrode is difficult to obtain.
  • a discharge capacity of a battery becomes larger as compared with an electrode slurry comprising a non-aqueous binder.
  • the primer layer can be subjected to sufficient crosslinking, and even in the step of forming an active material layer using an aqueous binder, swelling of the primer layer does not occur. Therefore, there is an effect of improving an output characteristic of a battery.
  • the crosslinking agent is an insulator, and therefore will be a factor of increasing an electrode resistance when being interposed between the current collector and the active material layer.
  • crosslinking agent layer is formed using the crosslinking agent in as small an amount as possible or a thickness of the layer is made as thin as possible, electric conductivity is not impaired and output characteristic of a battery is improved by a tunnel effect of the active material layer and the primer layer.
  • oxides can inhibit decomposition of the electrolytic solution and an effect of improving cycle characteristic of a battery can be expected.
  • an electrode having a high capacity and an excellent cycle characteristic can be obtained.
  • an electrode slurry exhibits acidity (a pH value decreases). If such an acid slurry is applied to an aluminum current collector, a chemical reaction is generated between the acid and the aluminum and an electrode capacity decreases remarkably. Therefore, if a material, which is hard to react with acid, such as stainless steel (SUS) or carbon is used as a current collector, no chemical reaction occurs between an acid and a current collector and a problem with decrease in an electrode capacity can be solved.
  • SUS stainless steel
  • these current collectors are low in electric conductivity as compared with an aluminum current collector, which will be a factor for causing decrease in output characteristic of a battery. Since a primer layer is present on an aluminum current collector, the aluminum current collector having excellent acid resistance can be obtained, and an electrode being excellent in electric conductivity can be obtained.
  • an electrode having a light weight and excellent electric conductivity can be obtained.
  • an electrode giving a small internal resistance of a battery can be manufactured.

  • the binder is used to bond the active materials to each other, the active material to the current collector and the active material to the electrically conductive additive.
  • the binder is roughly classified into an aqueous binder (also called a water type binder) prepared using water as a solvent and a non-aqueous binder (also called an organic solvent type binder, a non-water type binder or an oil-based binder) prepared using an organic solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP).
  • NMP N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone
  • the organic solvents including NMP are said to possibly have an adverse effect on environment and is demanded to be collected when drying the electrode, which causes increase in an electrode manufacturing cost. Further, it is well-known that the organic solvent type binder is hard to use in a high temperature environment since it swells in a high temperature electrolytic solvent and increases an electrode resistance.
  • cycle characteristic means a characteristic of inhibiting a charge and discharge capacity from decreasing due to repeated charging and discharging. It can be said that a lithium-ion secondary battery exhibiting a small degree of decrease in a charge and discharge capacity and having a high capacity retention rate is excellent in cycle characteristic.
